Marriage Proposal

Raja Saheb is gone for some critical meeting for couple of days. He comes back pretty late on third day

He gets call from Savitri Devi “Ji Dadima”

“Can you come to meet your Dadima or I need to get your appointment as well” she sounded really irritated and he knew the reason; His disappearance and his phone completely switched off.

“Dadima, will be in your room soon”

In Dadima’s room “What was this all. Do you think it’s my age to take such pressure”?

“I am sorry Dadima for my lack. I work day and night, so as to remove all stress from your forehead. But I am sorry to be the reason”

She came and lovingly caressed his cheeks “Bete, that is my problem. In taking everyone’s problem on your head, you have forgot your life exist; that you should live even for yourself”

“Dadima – I am fine, main khush hoon. I don’t have time to think about myself, my life is surrounded by so many things I feel more than contended”

“My heart gets scared. Beta, can you accept my one request” “Dadima, your wish is my command. Just place it” “Promise aap manenge” she looked at him with expectations. He nodded for agreement.

“I want you to marry” she said straight without stories around it.  He laughed; she loved when her grandson, who had innumerable things going on in his brain and who would be hell serious planning so many things and who have forgot to live his life, sometimes laughed.

“Aap haste hue bahut achche lagte hain”

“Dadima, I don’t have time to fall in love. And when there will be no love, life of that girl will be punishment with me”

“Who aap humpe chor dijiye. I have found a girl for you, who will make you fall in love with her”

“Ok Dadima!!. He shied. She has been trying this for long and he had been denying. But she was getting old and pleading him, he felt like he was troubling her with his no every time and he had no specific reason other than he had no time for love and such things.

“As you wish. Anyways, people of Kalsia are waiting for their Rani Sahiba. Enemies have started spreading rumors now. So this marriage will be good to shut them as well” he added his point on that.

“Bete sometimes think about yourself too. But ok, who sikha degi. When I went as chief guest in Delhi College last year I saw thig girl. Mujhe ek hee nazar me laga aapke liye banee hai. Then I kept track of her. Her father and brother has well descent business. She is commoner, not from any princely state but I think she is perfect for you. Sabke ladli aur apne duniya me mast”

“Ok Dadima. Just make sure girl agree to marry, you think she is made for me, but I doubt if I am made for her or not. I don’t want anyone to marry me under pressure of this name and power” “Ok beta”

Ten Days Later: Handa Haveli

“Geet tomorrow you are not going out. All your exams are finished and you don’t have reason to roam around in city “announced Rano

“Yes, the royal family is coming for your alliance. It’s the best proposal that I could find for this nomad girl. So I want you to be good and behave Geet” ordered Mohinder

“Veerji.. Mumma and Papaji are behaving as if I am worst. But who is the boy”

“I had told you Geet, I will find a best one for you but they found you. I am just wondering how did he approve for this alliance.” Papaji was overwhelmed with the proposal

“Dad, you are talking as if he is approving any fund for your business”

“You will be surprised Geet. Do you want to know who the proposal is from?” Said Brij

“Why is there such big suspense of this? Please let me know who this great person is, who is doing mercy on me”

“Arre Nahi… My Geet is a diamond. My Geet is diamond and that is why we have such an alliance for her.” Said Ranoo caressing her head

Geet Hugged her Mom “Thanks Mom. But will anyone break this suspense of this great alliance.”

Rajji came in “I will tell Di” “Di… The alliance is for Raja Saheb”

“Raha Saheb? Which Raja Saheb?” Geet obviously did forgot about her chit chat that day and forgot about mention of Raja Saheb

“Raja Saheb of Kalsia Empire.”

“What?” Geet’s eye popped out

“Yes. He is the whole sole of the Empire of kalsia and Khurana Enterprise. Do you know he has so many secret govt. projects that he handles and he has say in important decision on national level as well? In Short one of most powerful and richest person of our country.” Said Brij

“You mean a real wale Raja Saheb want to marry me. But why? I don’t want to marry any Raja Saheb. There definitely is some trap”

“Geet again you have started reading the detective novels. Maharani Ji herself came with the alliance”

“What? You mean real Maharani came for my alliance”

“Abb real wale Raja Saheb ke liye real wali Maharani hee aayege”

“No No…. then there is real catch. Now, if he is so powerful, then he must be very old. Raj gharane ke chakkar me you are wedding me to old man”

“Geet he is Youth icon, most eligible bachelor and all princess and girls from biggest business family are in line waiting for alliance with him. He is not old, he is dynamic principled man of 31 years old. Extremely responsible for his age. And we have heard he is very handsome”

“10 yrs. difference in age, no way. I want to marry boy of my age and from my age group. And definitely not the prince type…. and this one is one step ahead – Raja Saheb”

Papaji sat down in front of Geet and joined his hand “Geet it’s a very nice alliance beta. Raja Saheb, we have all heard, takes care of his family and people above him. You will be his wife, what he will do for you. Just think. Aur aisa ghar hum kabhi nahi dhoondh payenge”

“Ghar nahi Raj Gharane me jayegi humari Geet” said Brij. His happiness could be felt. They were all so overwhelmed.

“Papaji, please don’t sit on your knees like that. If you so much want me to marry him, I will but on my terms.”

Brij became angry “They are Royal family, one of the highest and you will keep terms on them”

“Yes, why not. They came with alliance, not us. And I will be his wife and not his employee or anything. I need to know my position after marriage. I am risking my life. I am really not interested in this Raja Saheb. His younger brother would have been better but this Raja Saheb and his authority is just irking me. I am ready just because of you all”

Ranoo came forward and placed her hand on Geet’s head “You will be very happy”

“I don’t know Mumma. I want to send one message to Raja Saheb directly. I want to see if he agrees on it”

“Aur Na ker di toh?” all asked together; they were scared of her NO.

“Mumma, Papaji, Veerji – I said YES already but I need to know where I stand. Aaplog toh Shadi kerwa doge, aage toh mujhe dekhna hoga.”

Geet got up in slight irritation hitting on of the glass of water on dining Table and the hit her leg on the table and was about to tumble when Brij held up “Disaster like you definitely need a responsible like him”

“I can handle myself very well. My friends can handle my mess, I don’t need that high profile Raja Saheb to handle me. Chaddo, I can walk” and she walked to her room limping slightly

Geet wrote her note, glued it and handed it to Papaji.

Savitri Devi called Raja Saheb to her room “Yes Dadima”

“I have message from someone special for you” “Who? Maybe some fake terror letter”

“Terror or love letter, that you can decide after you read. Letter from your would-be wife Geetanjali”

He knotted his brows and took the letter and left for his room
